STAFF REPORT KHI: The government, private sector and all stakeholders need to join hands and work collectively to address the challenges confronted by the horticulture sector of Pakistan.
KCCI President Abdullah Zaki has expressed while speaking at a EU-funded Public Private Dialogue (PPD) on Enhancing competitiveness and exports of kinnow and mango.
He appreciated the efforts being made by ITC, PITAD in collaboration with the EU towards disseminating TRTA II exclusively for Pakistan.
He apprehended that the EU warnings may result in complete ban on Pakistani orange and mango exports to EU.
Speaking on the occasion, Rabiya Agha, Secretary TDAP, said that export of mango from India has been banned by EU which has provided an opportunity to Pakistan to increase its exports or face the same destiny by not reforming and adhering to international standards.
Sajid Hussain, DG PITAD, informed that eight PPDs in association with ITC have been conducted so far with a view to make contribution to the policies of the government.
